Meet Daianne,
The
Heart Behind The Wild Sprouts.

I’ve spent my life working with kids—teaching, leading, and learning alongside them. From running a Scout Girls Club at 15 to hands-on experience caring for young children, I’ve seen firsthand what really works when it comes to early childhood learning.

When I became a mom, I knew I wanted more for my children—more time outdoors, more exploration, more hands-on learning. Traditional schools weren’t cutting it, and even forest schools lacked the balance I was looking for.

So, I built The Wild Sprouts—a place where kids learn through play, explore through nature, and grow with purpose.
Here, they don’t just memorize facts—they experience learning.

If you believe kids deserve more than just sitting in a classroom, you’re in the right place.

About TWS

At The Wild Sprouts, we do things differently. We believe kids learn best through real-world exploration, not just worksheets. That’s why we blend forest school adventure with Montessori-inspired structure, giving children the freedom to explore, play, and grow—while building real skills.

  • More time outside—because nature is the best teacher

  • Hands-on, play-based learning—so kids stay curious & engaged

  • Guided academics—ensuring a strong foundation without the pressure

We’re not just another preschool—we’re a movement. If you want your child to love learning, build confidence, and thrive in a nature-rich environment, this is the place.

why choose us?

  • At The Wild Sprouts, kids don’t just sit in a classroom—they learn through adventure. Our outdoor education model helps children think creatively, build resilience, and connect deeply with the world around them. Here, every day is a hands-on experience that fuels curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love for learning.

  • At The Wild Sprouts, kids get the best of both worlds—the freedom to explore like a forest school and the structure to build real skills like Montessori. Our approach nurtures both academic growth and personal development, helping children thrive with confidence, curiosity, and independence.

    Learning should be an adventure—here, it is.

  • At The Wild Sprouts, every child matters. Our small class sizes mean personalized attention, tailored guidance, and the freedom for each child to learn, grow, and thrive at their own pace—all in a supportive, nurturing environment.

    Because no two kids are the same—and their learning shouldn’t be either.

  • At The Wild Sprouts, we believe healthy minds start with healthy bodies. That’s why we serve fresh, wholesome mealsthat nourish children from the inside out—giving them the energy to learn, play, and thrive.

    Because what they eat today shapes how they grow tomorrow.

  • At The Wild Sprouts, education isn’t just about the child—it’s about the whole family. We foster a close-knit communitywhere parents, caregivers, and educators work together, creating a shared learning experience that’s enriching for everyone.

    Because when families connect, children thrive.
